5'-8",HW 347,SW329,M1-25 M2-17 M3-11 M4-13 M5-14 pregnant-->
I had my first child in March 2014! I never thought that I would be able to have a baby. My husband and I tried for 8 years to conceive and finally one day it happened. During my pregnancy I called my NUT 3 different times and I never got a reply. I was so scared because and I was afraid that the baby wouldn't get enough nutrition if I ate how I was supposed to so I just ate whatever. Now 10months after giving birth to my wonderful son I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get back on track. Can someone please help me. I am at a loss. Here is some BG: I am 3 years out from the Sleeve WLS, My highest weight was 350 and my lowest was 214lb (was so close to being out of the 200s and so proud of myself) Now i am back up to 262 and am so scared of failure. Please give me some advice on what to do. I am at a loss and have nowhere to turn. BTW I will be seeing my surgeon for my 3 year follow up soon. Thanks in advance :)
yeah I had an appt. @8weeks and the heart was there but the beat was a little low, went back at 10 weeks and it was perfect and really clear to hear. Maybe it was just to soon. best wishes!!

That's good to hear my doctor didn't seem concerned but I was just hoping to know that everything was ok yesterday. I'll do another one on Monday.
I go for my ultrasound on Friday. But my dr said a heartbeat can take up to week 14 to hear so don't stress yourself!
Thanks for the advice. I've lost about 9 pounds so far but I've been eating more this week. Do you remember when you were able to see and hear the heartbeat. I went yesterday and we saw the sac but no heartbeat yet. I'm measuring right at 6 weeks. I was fine with one child but now that im pregnant I just want everything to go well.
I feel like the nausea is better this week not sure why. I feel like I'm finally able to keep food and drinks down. Have you had an ultrasound yet?. I went yesterday and I measured at 6 weeks we were able to see yolk sac but no heartbeat. I'm trying not to worry.
first off Congrats to you and the other ladie that comment under. I got pregnant at 4 months out from wls. I got the sleeve done. I was married for 6 years and gave up on trying to became pregnant. Decided to lose weight to look better and travel the world well 3periods after weight loss and the 4th one never cam =) I was Pregnant after 6years of trying. I was super scared my baby wouldn't get enough nutrients bt everything was fine. I kept lossing weight untill 5 months preg. lost 40 pounds. Stayed with those 40 pounds off and at 7months preg. started to gain . By the day of labor I had gain 25pounds of the 40 i lost. I breastfeed for 2 months and those 25 pound and 10 more where gone in those two month. So ladies enjoy your pregnancy and stick to the plan. really no need to eat more beacuse your preg. maybe 300 calories more but thats it. That was told by my Dr. to me.

In the words of Maya Angelou, "The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them". While we can't change others or control how people treat us, we are more than capable of controlling ourselves or our reactions to how we are treated. How you react speaks volumes! If this man has been treating you this way and all you've done is turn the other cheek, well, you have basically communicated to him that you are ok with such treatment, (even though I'm sure you aren't ok with him treating you this way). Allowing him to treat you in such a way has led to him having no respect for you, and the last thing you would want your unborn child to see is this man treating you in such a disrespectful manner and seeing you allowing yourself to be treated in such a way. Speak to your husband about counseling, whether together or each of you separately (yes, you may want to seek counseling as well to find out why you are allowing him to treat you badly). You are worth so much more than a man who snaps at you and puts you down. Reading this post stirs strong emotions in me; I was once in a bad relationship, an abusuve one. Although I was never physically abused, the emotional and verbal abuse was so bad that i often found myself wishing the man would just hit me. It has been 15 years and 4 months, and the emotional damage he did is still with me. I want to tell you to run for your life and get as far away from him as possible, because you are in a toxic relationship/marriage, but he is your husband, and you are in a marriage, and now a little precious life is on the way. If he ever treated you well, perhaps there is something worth fighting for? What does your gut tell you? Do you feel this man truly loves you and just needs some help? Do you see things shifting, changing for the better? For the worse? You have some serious soul searching to do (and some serious communicating with your husband). I truly wish you all the best and hope you are able to stay in your marriage, while realizing your self worth and having your husband realize it as well. Big Hugs!!!
Congratulations! On your pregnancy. I can only say that I am sorry that you are going through this at what should be an exciting time. One thing I can say is that men express their emotions differently than women. I dealt with a lot of similar things from my husband as I made the decision to have the Gastric sleeve done. We have been married now for 13 years but I did not think our marriage would survive long after surgery one year ago. I was mentally preparing myself for divorce. What I found out over a course of time was not that my husband didn't love me or want to be married to me but that he was afraid of losing me. He allowed his insecurities to overtake his actions and words. If your husband is having problems taking care of his other kids maybe he has some underlying fears with this pregnancy and is not properly communicating that. I agree that you should not accept abuse of any kind, but please exhaust all avenues before you give up on your marriage. I went to counseling alone to work on myself and my marriage. Needless to say we are still happily married today and we are better than we have ever been before. We still have challenges but nothing we aren't able to talk about and work through. I wish you the best and pray that you find the guidance you need.
